USE OF THE MANUAL
A current manual is an informative manual. Every effort will be made by Dynamic Aviation Group, Inc. to
incorporate the latest information available so that you may always have a current BEECHCRAFT King
Air 65-A90-1 & -4 Pilot’s Operating Manual. The following information will inform you of the divisions ofthe book and the proper manner of updating the revision records and amending the content of the book as
the material becomes available to you.
DIVISIONS OF THE MANUAL
The Pilot’s Operating Manual is divided into two basic parts: the FAA Approved portion which includesthe FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual and Supplements (each page being identified as such with the
FAA approved date), and the Pilot's Operating Manual that is not FAA Approved, which includes the
remainder of the manual. The FAA Approved sections of the manual are distinguished from the non-
approved sections with divider tabs marked “FAA Approved” preceding the title of the section.
The FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual bears its own part number and is a complete manual in itself.
The Pilot’s Operating Manual bears a separate part number and is incomplete without the FAA ApprovedFlight Manual.

SECTION IISYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS
PROPULSION SYSTEM
ENGINE
The PT6A-20 is a reverse-flow, free-turbine engine.
Air enters through an intake screen and passes into a
three-stage axial and a single-stage centrifugal
compressor driven by a single-stage reaction turbine.
Another single-stage reaction turbine counter-
rotating with the first, drives the propeller through a
two-stage reduction gear. Fuel is sprayed into the
annular combustion chamber by fourteen individual
removable fuel nozzles mounted around the gas
generator case. A low voltage ignition unit and coil
igniter plugs are used to start combustion. A
hydropneumatic fuel control schedules fuel flow tomaintain the power set by the gas generator Power
Lever. The accessory section and integral oil tank are
located on the aft end of the gas generator.
IGNITIONThe Starter-Ignition switch for each engine has three
positions. In the IGNITION AND ENGINE START
position, power is supplied to the ignition and starter
systems, and a light on the annunciator panel
illuminates, showing ignition operation. When not in
use, the switch is returned to the STOP position. In
the spring-loaded STARTER ONLY position, power
is supplied to
